Fantasy Shifting

Fantasy Shifting. 

Fantasy Shifting is like creating a character for a story. So for you creative minds out there, you may want to grab a piece of looseleaf, and a sketchbook, because we're going to have a bit of fun with this. Basically, you are creating you as a mermaid. You know in those spells where it says "Give me a pink tail with Hydrokinesis etc etc etc." Well this is basically that part. You create what you are going to look like as a mermaid, what you eat, where you live, etc. So let's begin! 

Take a piece of looseleaf (or just regular paper.) and write down "Hair Color, Tail Color, Eye Color, Skin Color." This is your physical appearance, what you are going to focus on when you Physical Shift.  For example, it will look something like this: 

Hair Color : White

Tail Color : Pink 

Eye Color : Green

Skin Color : Pale Blue

These things will contribute as camouflage in your environment. You may want to add details like , " Small fluke at the bottom, side fins." or "gills on the neck" even things like "Elf ears." Some vital things, like a thin, transparent, layer over the eyes to protect you while swimming, or your tail shape and form will be important. Will your tail be for speed or complex for camouflage? These things you focus on when you are shifting, so you bring them out. Remember, start with smaller things when you begin to shift. Don't automatically start to try and shift your tail. Start by shifting your eyes or your hair first.

Next, you can decide where you want to live when you are a mermaid. Do you live in the deep sea? Are you a traveler? Do you live in a lake? Or do you live in the tropical waters of Aruba? It's all up to you. What do you eat? Do you stick to mainly fruits and other small things you can find on land? Or do you hunt and catch fish? How will your diet shape your tail? Are you a land dweller, and live half on land and in the sea?  

Now take out a blank piece of paper. Draw what you look like as a mermaid. Visualize it. Hang it somewhere where you will see it every day. Fantasy Shifting really takes the Fantasy element to a level because it's creating in your head what you want to be.
